Probably broken collarbone for @AndreGreipel! More news later. #GW“New York has the haircuts, London has the trousers, but Belfast has the reason!0 -

My calls were Van Avermaet and Van Marcke. With regard toi the latter it is all about the Belkin obsession I seem to have formed this season.
Not a brilliant race but ok0 -

Dedication. Nice. Good luck to him - a strong rider with an attacking spirit even if he hasn't been great since:

Stannard in hospital overnight, some kind of back injury.
Geraint not badly hurt.
Wiggins pulled a muscle frowning and trying to invent a new swear word when he heard he might get called up for the Ronde.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
Amount of crashes are shocking in these races this year. Smaller fields would help. DSs not shouting to move the protected rider up before the next berg would also help. Though lots of them have happened on wide open roads and by no means have all been on the fringes.Contador is the Greatest0

Riders don't need DS"s to know they need to move up before the climbs. That would happen anyway.
Being a chipper, the course isn't really that selective so you end up with big groups and that makes for dangerous race.Fckin' Quintana … that creep can roll, man.0 -
After the race, Doctor Phil Riley was able to shed some light on Team Sky's casualties, but admitted it would take more time for the full extent of the riders' injuries to be known.
He said: "CJ [Sutton] has a nasty flesh wound to his left knee which has been cleaned and dressed and he’s going to fly home to Spain and have it reassessed in a few days’ time.
"Ian has had CT scans which have confirmed a back injury. He will stay in hospital on tonight and will also be reassessed tomorrow before we decide whether or not he has to go home.
"Geraint is fine. Our physiotherapist Nathan Thomas checked him over after the race and G also confirmed that to me over the phone."

I think the difference these days* is that riders look to move up as a team rather than as individuals, so instead of 10 contenders getting to the front, you have 10 contenders and their teams trying to get there which is basically the whole peloton and makes for a mess.
*"These days" is used without any science, and without doubt, and in common with its typical usage, it is likely nothing has actually changed with time, but instead that rose-tinted glasses are being worn.0 -

There's some serious head cases in the world. No doubt he would have tried to sue if they'd ridden over him!0 -
Boonen rode another. 60-100km afterwards.
Belgians think he's got a chance. I don't.
They're pleased he was so p!ssed off after his 5 the because it shows how good he was feeling.0 -
What happened to Griepel, I know he crashed obviously but Google translate did not like Dutch at all when I tried to convert it to English, was it to do with that photographer?0

Tyler Farrar crashed, bringing Greipel and Geraint Thomas, down. Allegedly.0
